Title: LOVE YOURSELF & RE-ENERGIZE – Part 2

By Bryan Arzani

“Love myself! What a crazy statement!” Yeah, I can just hear you saying this. But, let’s look at it this way. Loving yourself means taking care of yourself. It means re-energizing yourself. It means making sure you are the very best you can be. That’s the only way you can handle the tremendous responsibility that comes from being a leader; from living the phrase: ‘the buck stops here’.

To paraphrase Stephen R. Covey in his uber-successful book The Seven Habits of Highly Successful People, you have to take time to sharpen the saw. Remember, you’re a role model. Show your team that you do value taking care of yourself, by actually doing it! It doesn’t work if you tell your team to leave a little early on a beautiful Spring Friday, if you stay at the office until 6:30.

Covey also addressed those of us who are so focused on goals and achievement that we cringe at the thought of taking some time for ourselves. Again, to paraphrase, he says that you could look at that brief respite being the ticket to allowing you to come back at 110%!!

So, show yourself some love. Be kind to yourself. Figure out what re-energizes you. Then do it. This is the month that you could shoot Cupid’s arrow right back at yourself! Everybody wins!!
